The standard assert does not work nice in C++ Builder when working on a console application. Instead, one can use the code below, which does wait for a key press.


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#ifndef BilderbikkelConsoleAssertH

#define BilderbikkelConsoleAssertH

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

//From http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl/CppBuilderAssert.htm

#ifdef NDEBUG

  #define Assert(x) ((void)0)

#else

  #include <iostream>



  #define Assert(x)                      \

  if (! (x))                             \

  {                                      \

    std::cout                            \

      << "ERROR!! Assertion "            \

      <<  std::string (#x)               \

      <<  " failed\n on line "           \

      <<  (__LINE__)                     \

      <<  " in the function "            \

      <<  (__FUNC__)                     \

      <<  "\n in file "                  \

      <<  __FILE__                       \

      << std::endl;                      \

      std::string tempString;            \

      std::getline(std::cin,tempString); \

  }
